There is plenty riding on the result of this match, with the finals hopes of the Titans potentially on the line against the Raiders.

The Gold Coast side let their chance to secure a finals berth slip in the last minute of their match against the Knights last week and will be sweating on the Friday night result of the match between the Bulldog and Eels, with both teams keen to climb into sixth spot. 

While the Bulldogs will need a big win to overtake the Titans, Parramatta just need a win to knock them down into seventh spot. 

A much-improved Canberra outfit travel to the Gold Coast for their last match of the season, with it doubling as a 'home' game a number of their stars including sisters Zahara and Chante Temara and Sophie Holyman, who all played at Burleigh, while Emma Barnes was born just up the road at Logan.
